More than a dozen members and friends of Our Redeemer traveled to Mississippi during the week of February 12-19, 2006 to help people in the Gulf region recover from Hurricane Katrina.  We were part of a group of about 42 people from our synod working in Mississippi that week.

We stayed at a Lutheran Church in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, across the Gulf from Biloxi.  The hurricane has reduced many homes to piles of rubble stretching on for mile after mile.
